Business is great, joked a shop owner: he sold burners for gas. These gadgets past two days in Majdanpeku worthy of gold, because it is only on them could prepare food.
To make matters even worse, in this city of skyscrapers, the architects omitted chimneys, says Mirko Kobe. He lives in in the center of town with his wife and two sons, one of whom is chronically ill and requires constant care.
He adds that the heating is only in the hospital, which has a generator. “The hospital only has heating, and it is currently one baby who was born on Monday night and 26 patients, of which I think are two pregnant women, or so talking about.
A different resident, Milan, says that the transmission lines that have fallen were wrapped in ice 4-centimeters thick. Workers cut branches that have fallen around power lines, and it goes very slowly. More bizarre is that no one has physically visited the power plant, but they are controlled by a computer in Belgrade.
The situation is cataclysmic, explains Milan. It’s freezing cold. The home is cooler than outside! People began mentally to shoot, really are very bad. They are very angry, enraged, angry … Everybody is extremely difficult, residents are outraged, helpless!
